Cubs reach milestone in Cards win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 27 - 09 - 2016

Jon Lester allowed three hits in 6-2/3 innings and the Chicago Cubs set a franchise record for victories at Wrigley Field in a season as they beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 Sunday.
Lester earned his league-leading 19th victory and retiring catcher David Ross homered as the National League Central champions went 57-24 at home this season.
Chicago won 56 games at the ballpark in 1933 and 1935.
The Cubs also reached 99 victories, which they last accomplished in 1935.
Lester (19-4) struck out seven while lowering his ERA to 2.28, second lowest in the majors behind his teammate Kyle Hendricks (2.06), another candidate for the NL Cy Young Award.
Lester exited with two on in the seventh. Carl Edwards Jr. struck out Randal Grichuk to stop the rally.
Aroldis Chapman earned his 16th save.
Dodgers 4, Rockies 3 (10 innings): Charlie Culberson hit a solo home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Los Angeles Dodgers the National League West championship with a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Reliever Joe Blanton (7-2) earned the victory that gave the Dodgers their fourth successive division title.
With two out in the bottom of the 10th, Culberson hit a 91-mph fastball from Boone Logan (2-5) into the stands down the left-field line for his first home run of the season and the sixth career.
Padres 4, Giants 3: Wil Myers' RBI single in the seventh inning lifted the San Diego Padres past the San Francisco Giants, who were eliminated from the National League West race after the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies minutes before.
San Francisco (82-74) are tied with St. Louis for the second National League wild card pending the result of the Cardinals' late game against the Chicago Cubs.
The New York Mets are a game ahead of the Giants and Cardinals in the first wild-card position.
Blue Jays 4, Yankees 3: Edwin Encarnacion hit an infield single to second base to score the winning run as the Toronto Blue Jays came back with two runs in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the New York Yankees.
The Blue Jays (86-69) entered the game occupying the first American League wild-card spot, 1-1/2 games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees (79-76) were 4-1/2 games out of a wild-card spot.
Jose Bautista homered for the Blue Jays. Didi Gregorius homered for the Yankees.
In other games it was: Red Sox 3, Rays 2 (10 innings); White Sox 3, Indians 0; Royals 12, Tigers 9; Mets 17, Phillies 0; Orioles 2, Diamondbacks 1; Nationals 10, Pirates 7; Reds 4, Brewers 2; Astros 4, Angels 1; Mariners 4, Twins 3; Athletics 7, Rangers 1. — Agencies
